Identity resolution software, also known as identity matching software or entity resolution software, is a type of technology used to identify and consolidate disparate data about individuals or entities from multiple sources. It aims to resolve and merge different data records that pertain to the same person or entity, enabling organizations to create a unified and accurate view of their customers, contacts, or other data subjects.

The primary purpose of the software is to overcome the challenges associated with data fragmentation and duplication. In many cases, organizations collect data from various channels, such as online interactions, CRM systems, social media platforms, and offline sources

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic Increased the Market Demand

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the identity resolution software market share. The pandemic accelerated the need for digital transformation across industries as organizations shifted to remote work and online operations. This increased reliance on digital channels and data collection necessitated robust identity resolution software to manage and consolidate customer data from multiple sources. With physical interactions limited during the pandemic, organizations placed greater emphasis on enhancing customer experiences in digital environments. They played a crucial role in providing a unified view of customers, enabling personalized interactions, and delivering targeted marketing campaigns. As the volume and sensitivity of customer data increased, data privacy and security became significant concerns. Organizations had to ensure compliance with regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and implement secure identity resolution solutions to protect customer information and prevent data breaches.

LATEST TRENDS

Real-time identity resolution is expected to fuel the growth in the market

Real-time identity resolution is a trend gaining momentum in the market, driven by the need for immediate and personalized customer experiences. With real-time resolution capabilities, organizations can recognize and engage with customers in the moment, offering tailored offers, recommendations, and support based on their current context and preferences. This trend leverages advanced technologies such as AI and machine learning to process and analyse incoming data in real time, enabling organizations to resolve identities instantaneously.

DRIVING FACTORS

Increasing data complexity and fragmentation to foster the market growth

The rapid growth of data sources and channels has resulted in increased complexity and fragmentation of customer information. Organizations collect data from various touchpoints, including online interactions, social media, mobile apps, customer relationship management (CRM) systems, and offline sources. However, inconsistencies, discrepancies, and duplications often occur in the data, making it challenging to create a unified and accurate view of customers. Identity resolution software addresses this issue by applying sophisticated algorithms and matching techniques to reconcile and consolidate disparate data records. It analyzes attributes such as names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses to identify and link together records that pertain to the same individual or entity. By resolving data complexity and fragmentation, the software helps organizations create a complete and accurate picture of their customers, enabling better decision-making, personalized experiences, and improved operational efficiency.

Fraud detection and prevention to result in the expansion of the market

Identity resolution software plays a critical role in detecting and preventing fraud. By leveraging advanced algorithms and data matching techniques, this software helps organizations identify patterns, anomalies, and suspicious activities across multiple data sources in real time. By linking and analyzing data points associated with individuals or entities, such as transaction history, behavior patterns, and account information, the software can flag potential fraud indicators. This proactive approach enables organizations to take immediate action, such as blocking suspicious transactions, investigating fraudulent activities, and implementing preventive measures to safeguard their customers and business interests. It significantly enhances fraud detection capabilities, reducing financial losses, reputational damage, and the impact on customers affected by fraudulent activities.

• According to UNCTAD/IAPP, >70% of countries in Africa and ~73% in Asia now have comprehensive privacy laws—accelerating consent-based, first-party identity programs.

• According to the FTC Consumer Sentinel (2024 data), 6.5 million total consumer reports and 1.135 million ID-theft reports drive demand for robust identity verification and resolution.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Data privacy and compliance concerns to hamper the market growth

As identity resolution involves processing and linking personal data, privacy and compliance regulations pose challenges. Organizations must navigate the complexities of data protection laws, such as GDPR, CCPA, and others, to ensure they handle customer data appropriately. Compliance requirements can introduce additional operational and legal complexities, impacting the implementation and usage of identity resolution software.

• According to the UK CMA’s ongoing oversight, Privacy Sandbox implementation requires resolving 100+ competition/measurement issues, slowing universal third-party alternatives.

• According to IAB retail-media measurement guidelines (Jan 2024), annual validation and invalid-traffic filtering are mandated—raising operational and audit burden for ID vendors.
